Information and Announcements
Update: May 20, 2003:
I have several new images appearing in the
"Waterscapes" and "Reflections" galleries,
a beautiful early-morning scene from Hillsborough River, a stunning
waterfall, pool and garden from Rainbow Springs, and two new
waterfall scenes from North Carolina and Virginia.
I am pleased to announce that all my new prints
are produced on the Epson Stylus Pro 7600, featuring 7 pigmented
UltraChrome inks. Used with care for proper image file preparation
and proper materials and color profiling, I find these prints
to be virtually indistinguishable in gamut from the finest photo-quality
inkjet reproduction, yet they have superior gradations of light
and color, superior sharpness and detail, simply the most accurate
color balance I've ever seen in a digital print, plus vastly
superior resistance to fading - up to 100 years behind glass
under normal lighting. The overall quality is, in my opinion,
easily superior to other digital printing technologies.
Additionally, I have made a number of prints
on Fine Art Matte papers (smooth and textured) with Epson's "Matte
Black" ink option, and the results are simply stunning,
and very beautiful in a way that is hard to visualize until you
see such a print with your own eyes. The anti-glare properties
of this kind of print make it particularly easy to place in difficult
lighting, and has a very sophisticated appearance. It is more
expensive to produce prints using these materials, but worth
it, in my opinion.
Images printed on Canvas are also now available.
These have the finish appearance of an oil-on-canvas painting,
but with the fine detail of the photographic image.
Update: August 10, 2002
I will try to keep information relevant to this site
updated here. Upcoming galleries, new additions to existing galleries,
and special offers will be posted here.
Two new gallery additions are planned at the moment:
a "People" gallery and a "Places" gallery.
I currently have links to these pages, but no galleries are up
as of yet.
The "People" gallery will be a collection
of casual photos I've taken of family, friends and associates
over the past couple of years. The total body of work from which
this gallery will currently be derived is very, very small, so
I expect this gallery to expand significantly in the coming months.
These images will not be for sale, but will be used solely to
demonstrate my photographic style.
The "Places" gallery will include scenes
from a number of places I've visited, including Singapore, Dominican
Republic, China, and various points of interest within the United
States, with an emphasis on scenes of historic or cultural significance.
Someday in the not-too-distant future I hope to have
a "Landscapes" gallery. As you can readily see, I have
a major attraction to watery "landscapes", and I believe
these deserve their own classification, hence the "Waterscapes"
gallery. Even though I shoot them in a "landscape"
style, and use "landscape" equipment to shoot them,
I can't properly call them "landscapes"! I love the
scenes from the western part of the U.S., namely from the Rocky
Mountains and westward. I have a great and abiding love for regions
in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California and other
beautiful places in this great land. Hopefully I will have an
opportunity to travel back that way soon, and make suitable photographs
to memorialize some of these scenes.
The "Other" gallery will allow me to link
to images which defy simple classification. I'll announce these
new galleries and images as they occur.
